Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Review of hypoxaemia in the anaesthetized horse: predisposing factors, consequences and management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objectives: To discuss how hypoxaemia might be harmful and why the horse is particularly predisposed to developing it. To review the strategies that are used to manage hypoxaemia in anaesthetised horses, to describe how successful these strategies are

Long-chain Acylcarnitines Reduce Lung Function by Inhibiting Pulmonary Surfactant*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
Background: Mice with a defect in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) have reduced lung function but the mechanism is not known. Results: Acylcarnitines accumulate in FAO-deficient lungs and inhibit pulmonary surfactant.

Nano‐ and Micro‐Sized Solid Materials Used as Antiviral Agents

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Due to the rise of viral infections in humans and possible viral outbreaks, the use of nano‐ or micro‐sized materials as antiviral agents is rapidly increasing. This review explores their antiviral properties against RNA and DNA viruses, either as a prevention or a treatment tool, by delving into their mechanisms of action and how to properly assess ...
